1. INTRODUCTIONi,I

_o EPA is required to review EISs involving major Federal actions

_ significantly affecting the quality of the human environment under the Nationali_ Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Section 309 of =he Clean Air Act. Noise

impact is one of the parameters that EPA reviews in the EIS review process. The

purpose of this work assignment is _o prepare a comprehensive noise impact

• evaluation guidance manual for the EPA EIS reviewers to promote more consistent

and effective response to noise impacts in EISs.

l_is report is the product of Task i. In Task I, SAIC reviewed over 75documents dealing with EPA_ FHWA, FAA AND HUD's noise programs. We interviewed

representatives from FHWA and FAA, The result is a summary of each agency's

L_ noise pollcys noise impact criteria, and mi_igatlon measures, Exhibit D of this

report also lists Sta_es and local communities that have adopted noise criteria

and/or regulations.

The primary emphasis of the report is on transportation-related agenciessince'the majo'rlty of EISs with noise impacts are primarily highway and airport

projects, Evaluating the noise impacts of the overall project are discussed inmore detail than the specific noise standards for a particular aircraft or

vehicle.

Other products of _he work assignment will be a detailed guidance document

and bibliography of key references.

help protect the publlc health and welfare, to supply noise abatement criteria,and to establish requirements for information to be given to local officials for

use in planning and design of highways pursuant no Title 23, United Sta_es Code.

2.4 NOISE POLICY O_RVIEW

The regulatlon requires _hat noise ahatemest measures be considered when a

_,.a noise impact is identified during the development of a new project. A noise

impact is defined as the condition when the predicted traffic noise levels

.., approach or exceed the noise abatement criteria, or when predicted traffic noise

m levels substantially exceed the existing noise levels. The Act, 23 O,S.C.,

IO9(i) is not definitive in stating that certain highway noise levels must be

met, rather, noise is to be considered in light of other factors to ensure that

the best public interest is preserved, The policy is, therefore, structured.to

leave _he judgement to State lllghway Agencies and the FSWA. The following

sections discuss the components of FHWA's policy on noise impacts. A complete

.__ document of FEPH 7-7-3, which implemenes 23 CFR 772, is included in Exhibit A.

2.4.1 Analysis of Traffic Noise Impacts and Abatement Measures

FHWA requires a noise analysis to include the following for each

alternative:f l

I S Identification of existing activities, developed and undeveloped lands

i which may be affected by noise from the highway

. • Prediction of traffic noise levels

• Determination of existing noise levels

_.. • Determination of traffic noise impacts

-- • Examination and evaluation of alternative noise abatement measures

; 2.4.2 Noi,ae Abatement

In determining and abating traffic noise impacts, primary consideration is

to be given to exterior areas. Only where there are no exterior activities

affected by the traffic noise, will the interior criterion be considered. Table

1 lists the FHWA's interior and exterior noise criterion.

The plans and specifications of a highway project will not be approved by

FHWA unless those noise abatement measures which are reasonable and feasible are

incorporated into the plans and specifications to reduce or eliminate the noise

impact on existing activities, developed lands, or undeveloped lands for whichdevelopment is planned, designedj and programmed.

I_ The noise abatement measures listed below may be incorporated in Type 1

,., (proposed new Federal or Federal-aid highway project or significant highway

alteration) or Type ll projects (proposed Federal or Federal-aid highway noise

abatement).

• Traffic management measures

i, • Alteration of horizontal and vertical alignments

• Acquisition of property rights for construction of noise barriers

• Construction of noise barriers

2.4.3 Traffic Noise Prediction

L_.f

In predicting noise levels and assessing noise impacts, traffic

characteristics which will yield the worst hourly traffic noise impact on a

'_ regular basis for the design year shall be used. The traffic noise prediction

_ m_thod used in any noise analysis is required to meet thc following conditions.3_

i. The methodology is consistent with the methodology in the FHWA Highway

._ Traffic Noise Prediction Model (P_port No. FHWA-RD-77-108).

_ 2. The prediction method uses noise emission levels obtained from one of

the following:

(a) National Reference Energy Mean Emission Levels as a Function of Speed

(b') Determination of reference energy mean emission levels in "Sound

Procedures for Measuring Highway Noise: Final Report," Report No.DP-45-1R.

_., 2,5 COMPLIANCE wITH NEPA

!7 FHWA noise policy for planned highways is implemented as a portion of the

overall environmental assessment process required for Federal actions by the

..j National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Portions of this process forhighway noise are also based on the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1970. The

_'_ general assessment process is shown in Figure i to consist of several keyI

decisions, investigate actions, and documentation. Upon initiation of a

_ Federal-aid highway project by a state highway authority, the state authority[

_._ and FHWA arrive at key official determinations regarding the project nature and

extent. The type of noise impact inveetlgaeion and report that will be required

_. for the project is determined by these decisions.

I_ 3.3 NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT RESPONSIBILITIES i

! FAA compliance with the NEPA is controlled by FAA Order 1050. olicies _-

and Procedures for Conslde=ing Environmental Impacts. _ TheF_FAAhas_J/_/I_'YaeterminedA_"i_,--

that approval or disapproval of airport noise compatibility programs are

"categorical exclusions" to the requirements for environmental assessment

_, under Order 1050.1C. The Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act (ASNA)

requires an airport noise compability program to be either approved or

.-_ disapproved within 180 days of receipt or it will be automat_cally approved,

_-, Development of a noise exposure map or noise compatibility program does not

replace an environmental assessment but can be used in the preparation of such

an assessment, Environmental assessment leading to a finding of no

significant impact or to an environmes=al impact statement must still be

I

"-' conducted, where required by applicable procedures, prior to taking any

Federal implementing action such as grant approvals or covered air traffic

-- actions. Although the 180-day time constraint does not permit the normal

; federal Environmental Impact Assessment process, consideration of the

_. potential impacts remains an integral part of the planning process. Airport

_ operators should fully consider environmental as well as noise and land use

consequences in developing au airport noise compatibility program.

Though EPA has no jurisdictional authority on the review of noise

i exposure map or land use compatibility program, regional staff should be aware

_i of and get involved with the development of such s program.

_, 3.4 PURPOSE

j, . To reduce existing noncompatlble land uses around airports and to prevent

the introduction of additional noncompatible land uses through the cooperative

efforts of all those involved.

3.5 POLICY OVERVIEW

Pederal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 150 works as a compliment to PAR

_ Part 36, Federal Aviation Admlnietratlon Noise Standards. Part 36 contains

noise certification standards for most airplane types. It has no provisions

' i to control either the operations or number of operations at an airport to

stabilize or reduce noise impacts, The land use controls as provided for in

_j Part 150 will integrate the gains in reduced alrcra_t noise emissions from

Part 36 into an overall noise compatibility program.

-_ 'l'heregulation establishes a single system for the measurement of airport

.._ and background noise, e single system _or determining the exposure of

.j individuals to airport noise, and a standardized airport noise compatibility

planning program. The planning program includes (I) provision for the

_' -2: development and submission to the FAA of Noise Exposure Maps and Noise

Compatibility Programs by airport operators; (2) standard noise units, methods

s

" -SNIP;_]L

and analytical techniques for use in airport assessments; (3) identification!

, ' of land uses that are normally compatible (or noncompatible with various

,_ levels of noise around airports; and (4) procedures and criteria for FAA

' ) approval or disapproval of noise compatibility programs by the administrator.

, _ A complete document of Part 150 is included in Exhibit B. The following

are the major elements of the regulation.

...._ 3.5.1 Identification of Land Uses

/,

'.,' Determination of land use must be based on professional planning

criteria and procedures utilizing comprehensive, or master, land use planning,• i

-. zoning, and building and site designing, as appropriate.

3.5.2 Noise Exposure Maps end Related DeacripClonsJ

"_ The noise exposure map submitted by an airport operator must identify

each noncampatible land use in each area depicted. The map and related

_ documentation must be developed and prepared in accordance with Appendix A

._ contained in th@ regulation. "In Appendix A noise definition and measurement

,_ procedures are described, noise contours and land uses, use of computer

prediction model (Integrated Noise Model), and identification of public

agencies and planning agencies are defined. A table listing land useF_q : compatibility with yearly day-night average sound levels and mathematical

description of day-night average sound level are included.

3.5.3 Noise Compatibilit? Program

•- A noise compatibility program must be submitted after FAA notice of

acceptability of a noise exposure map. Each noise compatibility program must

_. be developed and prepared in accordance with Appendix B of the regulation or

an FAA-approved equivalent, and should contain:

• Noise exposure map

• Description and analysis of the alternative measures

m Program measures proposed to reduce or eliminate present and future% noncompatlble land uses

Dear Mr. Vest:

Attached are four (4) copies of the first deliverable under WA 0-2. As noted in

our progress report, we have compressed the schedule due to the delay in getting

started. This deliverable, as well as the final deliverable, will be completedtwo weeks ahead of schedule.

This deliverable represents work conducted under Task i - Information Gathering.SAIC reviewed about 75 documents and interviewed the FHWA and FAA staff dealing

with noise impacts. We have prepared agency surmuaries for those agencies as

well as for HUD. The [ntroductlon to the report addresses EPA's role in noiseimpact reviews,

We have begun work on Task 2 - Basic Noise Guidance Document Development. Arevised outline for the guidance manual is shown in Attachment 2. We expect to

have a draft prepared for your review by the week of September I0, 1985, Pleasecontact me if you have any questions regarding this deliverable.

Sincerely,

regulations governing the operation of snowmobiles and other off-road recreational vehicles.• Table 9 summarizes those communities having intrusive noise regulations and identifies

• _ major sources and the respective limits placed upon them.

.-. There are currently in excess of 54 local jutisdictions with existing land-use noise regu-lations and approximately 100 more that have enabling legislation permitU.ng the development of noise regulations. Because of the large number of communities, detailed listings of

acoustic criteria regarding zoning are not provided here. However, Table l0 presents a

summary of those communities with existing land-use noise regulations along with theirprincipal noise descriptors, Specific regulations should be consulted for detailed information.

Table I1 fists those local communities with noise regulations governing construction- equipment and on-site activities. Agdin, the reader is directed to specific regulations for
